Answer:

Speed = 10 km/hr

Explanation:

Speed = Distance / Time

Since we have to convert it into minutes to hours ( because it is km/hr )

45 minutes = 0.75 hours

Therefore,

Speed = 7.5 / 0.75

= 10 km/hr

Hope it helps!

Two airplanes leave an airport at the same time. The velocity of the first airplane is 750 m/h at a heading of 51.3°. The veloci

abruzzese [7]

Refer to the diagram shown below.

In 2.4 hours, the distance traveled by the first airplane heading a 51.3° at 750 mph is
a = 750*2.4 = 1800 miles.

The second airplane travels
b = 620*2.4 = 1488 mile

The angle between the two airplanes is
163° - 51.3° = 111.7°

Let c = the distance between the two airplanes after 2.4 hours.
From the Law of Cosines, obtain
c² = a² + b² - 2ab cos(111.7°)
= 3.24 x 10⁶ + 2.2141 x 10⁶
c = 2335.41 miles

Answer: 2335.4 miles

What is the IMA of the following pulley system? 34567

Lynna [10]

Answer:

IMA of given system = $\frac{F_{r} }{F_{e} }$

Explanation:

The "Ideal Mechanical advantage" (IMA) of given pulley is $\frac{F_{r} }{F_{e} }$ .

Ideal Mechanical advantage of a system is defined by the ratio of achieved or output force to the implied force. In the pulley system above, output force is the resistant force denoted by $F_{r}$ . The input force is analogous or equivalent to the effort applied i.e. $F_{e}$ .

Hence by dividing these two forces we calculate the IMA of the above mentioned pulley system which is $\frac{F_{r} }{F_{e} }$ .
Its mathematical reference would be:

IMA = $\frac{F_{r} }{F_{e} }$

If a pebble is being transported in a stream by rolling, how does the velocity of it compare to the velocity of the stream?

AleksandrR [38]

Streams carry sediment, like pebbles, in their flows. The pebbles can be in a variety of locations in the flow, depending on it's size, the balance between the upwards velocity on the pebble (drag and lift forces), and it's settling velocity.
